Why isn't ESPN or NBA.com reporting anything?

How good is Lamb? Don't know much about him.

I think I agree with what some other people have said...Martin and I guess Lamb too are decent players, but Harden is a potential superstar. He's already the 3rd best SG in the league, actually. I think OKC got worse, because Harden was a huge part of their offense.

I honestly don't know how to feel about this.

Might even be a lateral move.

The big question is, how do Durant and Westbrook react to this right as the season is ready to begin?

This could be a major hit chemistry wise.

Durant is at the OU/ND game. Don't think they consulted him

wow.

i'm stunned. stunned. good for you, Houston. and anyone who has the Rockets over!

why did DeRozan have to have an off year last season? we could have been the team to jump on this if he hadn't torched his value.

Hes real nice. Got nice size, shooting touch, and looks like he'll be an elite defender in the future. Hes a blue chip prospect. PROSPECT though, hes probably not gonna be a major contributor for a year or 2 more

This doesn't make any sense for OKC. Kevin Martin can do nothing but score. James Harden's beast quality in my opinion was anchoring and effectively running the second unit as a point guard off the bench. Can Kevin Martin really do that? There better be a TON of good picks here otherwise I can't figure out what makes him pull off a deal like this
